About this audio guide
This guide to the Holodomor Genocide Museum in Kyiv centres on one small bronze figure, a girl holding wheat, and on a Soviet decree signed in the summer of nineteen thirty-two. It moves through the famine that followed in Ukraine and the symbols gathered around her on the memorial grounds, from a ring of millstones to the white candle. Best heard standing in the alley just past the Angels of Sorrow.
